A Call to Participate 1/23/11
| Dear Supporters, Times like these require extraordinary efforts of "We the People" to step up and rebuff unconstitutional government. We ask your consideration for this call to participate.

The Columbia Heights School board continues being bogged down in political power struggle over the election of a new School board chairman. For multiple decades a DFL controlled board continually elected liberal political DFL activists to the position of chairman. With the November 2010 elections the Columbia Heights School board is evenly politically polarized having 3 members liberal and 3 members conservative. The law requires the board to elect a chairman at the first School board meeting in January 2011. Because of the new board makeup, the chairman position was not elected even after 3 consecutive votes. Again during the next School board meeting the board could not elect a new chairman having a 3 to 3 vote for the two candidates. On Tuesday January 25, 2011 at 7:00pm the School board will hold their regular meeting at the Education Center next to the High School on 49th street just east of Central Avenue in Columbia Heights. The first order of the meeting is again to hold a vote for School board chairman. The board is required to hold up to 3 separate votes for the position of chairman. Should the board not choose a new chairman another vote occurs at the next School board meeting. On and on this process continues until the gridlock is broken. For various reasons CCCR-Education supports Ted Landwher for the School board chairman; among the reasons are his legal background, support of and member in the community for decades, is a conservative member of the School board, has served as a Columbia Heights School board member in the past, and clearly represents our best chance for some Constitutional leadership in the Columbia Heights education system.
CCCR-Education is asking for your response to our "Call to Participate" on Tuesday evening. Please clear a couple hours from your schedule Tuesday evening 1/25/11 and attend the Columbia Heights School board meeting. We will have a couple speakers to address the board demanding they set politics aside and vote Ted Landwher as School board chairman and get on with the business of Constitutional education in Columbia Heights.
The more people willing to attend this critical meeting the better; the board needs to know "We the People" are done having non Constitutional government run unchecked especially in Columbia Heights education.
Thanks in advance for your participation and pleas invite other Constitutional minded citizens.
